To achieve a cohesive flow throughout your home, use the same palette of colors but in varying proportions using this ratio, and each space will feel unique yet connected to the others.” For a home to be comfortable, she urges homeowners not to overlook lighting as well. “Layer your lighting with a mixture of ambient, task, and accent lights, as this will allow a space to be functional yet aesthetically pleasing and offer you the flexibility to relax and adapt in the space,” she explains. She emphasizes again that people shouldn’t overlook the power of color and how it can affect our mood, energy, and happiness. “Consider how you want to use a space and how you want to feel when you’re in it and look for colours that promote these feelings. For example, green is a great colour known for its calming effects, whereas red is very energizing and can easily lead to overstimulation of the senses.” Lastly, Rider concluded by saying, “Think about your budget and plan, plan and plan ahead of time. Have a game plan. You do want an overall vibe and cohesiveness.” Follow Bored Panda on Google News! Follow us on Flipboard.com/@boredpanda! Please use high-res photos without watermarks Ooops!
